The AEB10 has been a successful line of basses for Ibanez, and this continues the tradition by adding a tuner onboard! The spruce-topped mahogany body provides rich warm lows and sweet sustain. Indulge in tone without having to worry about feeding back, thanks to the Fishman Sonicore pickup and SST preamp. The electronics section even includes a built in tuner for added convenience. Finished with pearl inlays and die-cast tuners, this is an elegant-looking, rich-sounding instrument that will have you playing your best for years to come.

I originally bought this bass to play an event where electric instruments are a no-no. A/E bass guitars are always a compromise. The bass wave is huge, and you can only make the body so big before it ends up being a stand-up bass. I tried a lot of instruments in all price ranges before deciding the Ibanez was the best compromise between quality sound and cost. I love the controls, and the built-in tuner is definitely a bonus. You really can't go wrong with this bass.
